This week's task for Kinetic and Arrow is to create, promote and sell a new version of a signature menu item for El Pollo Loco. One team bets the farm on a risky strategy while the other struggles with a teammate who has flown the coop.

Observing the culinary competition and advising Trump this week is Sean Yazbeck, the season five winner of "The Apprentice." While the losers are grilled in the boardroom, the winners are serenaded by Andrea Bocelli, the Tuscany-born vocalist acclaimed for both his classical and popular music recordings.

Viewers of "The Apprentice: Los Angeles" can win a weekly Grand Prize random drawing of $10,000 by playing the live interactive "Get Rich with Trump" game during each episode. "Get Rich with Trump" can be played by sending a text message from a cell phone or by logging on NBC.com/Apprentice. Please log onto NBC.com for complete rules.

With the way they edit the show sometimes, it is hard to know who should be at fault for a team's loss. It did appear that Marisa just would not let her idea go and move on to something else. But at least she was trying to come up with some ideas!!! All Derek wanted to do was complain about Marisa!!! Again, it may just be the editing. But you know, they couldn't have done any worse trying Marisa's idea!!!

It appears to me that in the first few episodes, not too many people want to step up and take a chance. I am yet to see some of these people do or say ANYTHING!!! (Are you listening, Angela!!!) If I were Trump, I would fire the people who want to try and fly under the radar, hoping to make a late run once the competition is thinned out!!! I would at least give the ones who have some balls around, and not fire them after one mistake!!!

Can we talk about the sampling? I was not surprised that this didn't work. It's like if you go to Starbucks for coffee and they offer you a coffee sample. Uh, no thanks. A muffin or danish sample, sure. Sampling a bowl was not that smart. Making it more of an event like Arrow did was.

Just what I want, two strangers standing in the drive thru line giving 'samples'. NO Thank you..... And who wants to eat chicken that has been in the sun for hours. I wish Heidi would have tried some and got food poisoning.
